Chapter 067: Juniper's Suggestion
Pandan Mountain.
It is the late winter season when Yamabei Molan has just drawn out the foil.
After being severely reprimanded last time, this time Juniper did not dare to leave his post without permission, and stayed by the god-given seed of Fruit Pandan in a bored manner.
The throne of domination is from far and near.
Juniper stood up.
The surrounding 100 soldiers and ants got up one after another.
"Pandan!"
"Juniper."
Mo Lan flew back first, regardless of whether the seed given by the fruit pandan god likes to listen to it or not, and recounted the experience of this northward trip with high interest.
The Throne of Dominion lands.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, why did you come back so early?" Juniper asked.
"There was a big catch, so I came back early."
Long Bai would not say that he was almost frozen to death in the ice and snow, and with a wave of his tentacles, he praised:
"Juniper, you're doing a great job. In the future, when I travel far away with Mo Lan, you will focus on squatting in Mo Lan's territory, the herbs are fragile, you must not only guard the seeds of the fruit pandan god, but also protect the other orchid species. ”
"I understand."
Juniper asked: "Dragon cypress ant king, what about the blue god-given seed in the south of the mountain?" ”
Long Bai: "You can just go over and patrol around regularly." When the fruit is ripe, I will arrange for the Blue Soldiers to go to the tree to guard it. ”
"Oh-" Juniper hesitated, and said, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I can talk about it." ”
Would you still make suggestions?
Long Bai: "Speak! ”
Juniper: "We can dig a tunnel through the north and south of the mountain." From Shannan Ant Nest to ......"
Juniper raised his forefoot and pointed in the direction of the cave where Mo Lan lived, and said, "Lead over there." In normal times, some of the soldier ants are scattered inside the tunnel for communication and information transmission. In this way, if there is an emergency in the south or north of the mountain, I can quickly receive the news and lead the soldiers to rush to support in time. ”
Juniper: "One more thing, in the future, our kingdom will grow and grow, the size and number of worker ants and soldier ants will increase, and the ant nest will have to expand deeper into the mountains. ”
The analysis is very reasonable!
But this juniper, although his head is big, most of it is muscles, how can he think of such a far-reaching problem......
Long Bai: "This is what you came up with?" ”
Juniper said: "I thought of it with Juniper. Moreover, Yuanbai said that it only needs to send 3 intermediate special chemical ants and 15 primary special chemical ants to dig and carry in three shifts, day and night, and they can dig through in a year at most. ”
Juniper: "Juniper also said that it can only be dug with Mo Lan's permission......"
The dragon cypress knew that it was a juniper.
Juniper is an intelligent chemical ant, and is naturally much smarter than the giant soldier ant.
"Okay! Got it. Recently, it will be busy, and after the busyness, I will arrange a team of worker ants to dig up. ”
"You continue to guard Mo Lan's territory, and I'll go find Juniper."
Long Bai confessed, and controlled the throne of domination over the mountains and landed at the mouth of the anthive cave.
Juniper led a large group of worker ants out of the nest to greet and help unload the goods, but found that Long Bai did not bring back much when he went out this time.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, why did you come back early?"
"This is the silver cypress seed, an extremely precious tree species, take it to the ant nest and collect it."
The throne shrinks, and the dragon cypress throws a silk bag to the ground.
Juniper was a little puzzled.
Long Bai explained, "The silver cypress is supposed to be a variant of the large-fruited juniper, and the enhancement effect is to optimize the body size, which is extremely rare and practical. ”
Long Bai commanded: "Yuanbai, you follow me down the mountain." Let's go around the pond at the bottom of the mountain and investigate the topography and geology. Planning to reclaim the garden, after the beginning of spring, you can be busy. ”
……
The pond where the blue god-given seed takes root is located in the valley of the mountains.
At a distance of four or five hundred meters, there is a hill with a height of about 100 meters and a length of about a kilometer, and the slope is gentle in most places.
Silver cypress doesn't seem to like to grow in the mountains.
Long Bai decided to carve out this small hill first for the cultivation of silver cypresses.
It is uncertain whether the silver cypress is adapted to the southern climate.
Long Bai and Mo Lan inspected the north of the mountain again, planning to reclaim the garden on a small hill in the north of the mountain, and also planted a number of silver cypress trees.
The south and north of the mountain are carried out at the same time, and the comparison and observation shows which side grows better, and which side will be large-scale reclamation and large-scale planting in the future.
The so-called "reclamation" is to clear the original plants, organize the uneven slope into a square of neat flat land, and dig ditches.
Among them, the tree is the most troublesome to clean up, first cutting off its branches and leaves, then biting off the trunk and putting it down, and finally digging into the ground to clean the roots of the tree.
Orchards are carved out, and pools of water are dug in the mountains to prevent drought.
The overall amount of work is huge, and it may not be able to be completed in a year.
There are not enough worker ants working on the job.
Next, the company needed to breed worker ants on a large scale, and plans to increase the number of specialty ants to 200.
Considering that he and Mo Lan need to travel far to trade and explore, the number of specialized ants has increased dramatically, and the corresponding specialized blue ants that reserve food also need to increase.
Currently, the Throne of Domination produces an average of 1 egg per day.
According to the law, when the dragon cypress evolves into a 4th instar intermediate ant king, the upper limit of the eggs produced in each cycle can be increased to 5.
Evolve once.
Long Bai felt that the effect of the god-given seed of Nan Sour Jujube to strengthen the membrane wings was okay, and the ghost fan, the South Sour Jujube Seed, the ant king honey brewed from the pulp of the Southern Sour Jujube, and the pandan seeds produced in the territory of Mo Lan this year were mixed and matched.
Before they knew it, the various gains of Long Bai and Mo Lan had been completely combined into one share.
This year's pandan seed production is still 308 seeds.
200 pills were sold to the caravan.
50 capsules are reserved for the ghost fan.
50 pieces of dragon cypress and Mo Lan were eaten equally.
The remaining 8 grains were taken out as samples, and they were taken to Baifan Mountain to show the red fox, white rice, and black rice to prove their strength.
……
After a light rain, the temperature warmed up for three consecutive sunny days.
Orchid blossoms.
The mountains and mountains are busy.
The dragon cypress and the juniper led the ant colony respectively to open two nurseries in the south and north of the mountain, and sow the seeds of the silver cypress in time.
In the mountains, the plants need to be loosened and fertilized.
The sowing of the Dawang fir seed that has been bred by the intermediate ant queen at the second instar stage needs to be carefully cared for.
The biogas digester is emptied, and the biogas residue must be transported to the pond under the mountain to be fertilized once for the seeds given by the blue god.
The paddy harvested last year is sown along the edge of the pond.
The 8 black emperor peach seedlings and 6 spotted pear seedlings that were sown the year before last have grown to more than one meter and can be transplanted selectively.
Last year, all kinds of common orchid grass seedlings in the Molan sowing nursery were formed, and this year they can also be transplanted in a selected place.
Mo Lan is determined to breed top orchid species, and there are many things to do. It also needs to eradicate the weaker seedlings that were sown in previous years and transplant new seedlings. The flowers bloom in the spring, pollinate each other, and try what the dragon cypress calls 'cross-breeding'.
Long Bai personally brought large and small worker ants over to help Mo Lan. Long Bai didn't know much, and he was not optimistic about the development future of the orchid grass from beginning to end, so he fooled around. It's good that Mo Lan is happy.
When the orchid planted near the ant nest blooms, the cypress species pulls out the flower spikes one after another.
This year, it is still necessary to carry out proper flower thinning.
The cypress, juniper, juniper, and giant cypress each retain 80 flowers and 80 fruit balls, which are about 400 to 500 cypress seeds.
Both the cypress and the dried cedar have their flower spikes.
40 cypress flowers are reserved.
Don't leave a single dried cedar, don't hang fruit first, and then grow well for another year.
When all kinds of urgent matters are dealt with, the spring season of a hundred flowers blooms arrives.
It's time for the caravan on the continent of all nations to come.
Long Bai calculated the time, simply packed up, and set off with Mo Lan.
